Wet and gliding snow avalanches during the course of the day, in high altitudes snowdrift is prone to triggering - avalanche danger moderate!
The avalanche danger is in general moderate. Consider spontaneous wet- and gliding snow avalanches. Due to mild temperatures and strong radiation gliding snow avalanches are possible anytime and especially from steep sunny areas spontaneous medium sized wetsnow avalanches are possible. In high altitudes and steep slopes slab avalanches can be triggered by small additional loads.
Snowpack
The snow cover can settle furthermore due to mild temperatures and strong radiation and can get moist on the surface especially on sunny slopes. Powder snow is only found in shady slopes in high altitudes. Older thicker snowdrift deposits can contain weak layers. Wetness from the ground can lead to destabilization of the snow cover.
Tendency
Friday will be sunny in the mountains. The tendency to be prone to triggering of the snowdrift deposits is decreasing. The wet snow problem increases especially in the southern expositions.
